From Sgurr an Utha with bolton. Two potential high points. OS spot height has cairn. Alternative summit 100m west on rock plinth seems as high. Complex ridge in descent.Dangerous Dave17/08/2022
Track from A830, paralleling the Allt an Utha until it turns eastwards to climb Druim na Brein-choille. At its end a small path, occasionally cairned, reaches the col with Fraoch-bheinn, from where the summit is easily attained. Westwards across a wide ridge to Sgurr an Utha, reversing the route until finding a deep pool for a spot of skinny-dipping to cool us down on a very hot day.summitter05/06/2022

After staying at Prince’s Hotel, Glenfinnan. Solo. I walked up road W from there to where it crosses the railway line. I walked up through trees and came across a forest track, not marked on my map. I followed the track and then ascended over Tom na h-Aire to Fraoch-bheinn (790m) and Sgùrr an Utha (796m).
